Chapter 42: Jingxiang Fengyun (End)
"Why does Liu Bei want to help us?"
escaped all the way out of the range of Xiangyang, Lu Lingqi still looked at Yang Fu a little blankly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"If we are allowed to die here, Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou will be greatly reduced, Liu Bei will be newly attached, and the foundation will be unstable, if Liu Biao's prestige does not exist, Liu Bei will also be implicated, otherwise, the Cai family will be overpowered by Liu Biao, and Liu Bei will also be regarded as having a foothold in Jingxiang." Yang Fu slowed down his horse speed and said with a wry smile: "But next, Huang Zu's side, there will be no one to help us." ”
Lu Lingqi glanced at Zhao Yun with a complicated expression, and comforted: "Husband, don't be sad, let's write down this favor, and if there is a chance in the future, we will return this favor to him." ”
Zhao Yun nodded, since he had made a decision, he would not look back, not to mention, what Yang Fu said before was not bad, Liu Bei's approach was more of a political overture, not to him Zhao Yun.
"I've been being picked up like a rabbit all the time, when is it the head?" Lu Lingqi looked at a group of hussar guards around her, although there were only more than ten people, but the elite of hussar guards, looking at the world, unsurpassed, both equipment and combat ability, were top-notch, gritted her teeth and said: "Instead of being chased passively like this, it is better to turn passive into active." ”
"What does Miss think?" Yang Fu looked at Lu Lingqi, although she was a woman, Lu Lingqi's exploits in the Western Regions were enough to make thousands of men embarrassed, and Yang Fu didn't dare to underestimate it.
"Father said, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the intelligence comes first, we don't know anything about Jiangxia, it's useless to have any ideas, first send someone to explore the surrounding mountains and rivers clearly, and then take the initiative to attack and lure Huang Zu out!" The Lu family advocates offense more in their bones, Lu Bu is like this, and Lu Lingqi is the same, and at the end, he made a gesture of cutting his throat.
"The hussars obeyed the order, all of them were broken into pieces, and they infiltrated the four directions in disguise to collect intelligence terrain, and after ten days, no matter how much they collected, they would gather here." Lu Lingqi said categorically, although this army is nominally under the command of Yang Fu, but at this moment, including Yang Fu, no one refutes Lu Lingqi's order, and after more than a dozen hussars nodded, they each chose a direction to leave.
……
Chang'an Academy.
Cai Yan's plump body collapsed weakly in Lu Bu's arms, shyly buried his head in Lu Bu's arms and did not want to come out, his plump chest continued to rise and fall violently, squeezing the two snow greasy and constantly deformed, Lu Bu comfortably looked at the letterhead sent to the academy in the morning, these days are ridiculous enough, either to accompany his wife and concubine in the mansion, or to come to Chang'an Academy to be happy with Cai Yan, life is very nourishing, but official business has not been pulled down, and almost all the information sent by all parties will be seen every day.
Huguan, Luoyang, Tiger Prison and Hedong, these are currently several main battlefields under Lu Bu's command, as for Gao Lan's attack on Hetao's army has been repelled by Zhang Xiu and his people, this kind of long-distance sneak attack, accounting for a strange word, Lu Bu here has learned the information in advance, has been prepared, the strange word can not work, the supply line has been stretched, but fortunately Gao Ran ran fast, otherwise the 20,000 troops would have to stay on the grassland.
At present, whether it is the soldiers and horses under the command of Lu Bu or Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they are considered restrained, and they are still in a stage of mutual testing, Zhang He fought a few battles with Pang De in Huguan, and after the majestic sea passed, the large-scale battle between the two sides almost did not appear, Yuan Shao after the failure of the surprise attack of the Gaolan army, quite a bit of a sense of silence, but in the area of Heluo, the fight was really ruthless.
Ma Chao wanted to attack Hedong several times, but was forced to retreat by Li Dian, and the Luoyang area has almost become the main battlefield at present, Cao Cao first ordered Xiahou Yuan to reinforce Cao Ren, from Luoyang to Mengjin This area, and Wei Yan fought the sky and the earth, almost every day there will be fierce battles between the two sides, Cao Cao sent Xiao Xiahou Dun to storm the Tiger Pass, if the Tiger Pass is breached, Luoyang Lonely City is difficult to defend.
Until yesterday, even Gao Shun intervened in the battle, attacked Mengjin by surprise, and wanted to expel Cao Cao's forces from Luoyang, but Cao Ren saw through it and fell short.
Lu Bu looked at the battle report, his brows were sometimes frowned, and sometimes he was stretched, Cao Cao's battle seemed to be real, on the battlefield in the area of Heluo, nearly 70,000 troops were invested, and Lu Bu plus Gao Shun's soldiers and horses, there were nearly 50,000 people, Cao Cao wanted to expand the results of Mengjin's battle, and Lu Bu also wanted to take Hedong into his own hands, so that the forces under his command were completely connected, and the entire battlefield fell into a stalemate.
"Liu Bei went to Jingzhou?" Lu Bu's brows suddenly wrinkled, now the north is at its peak, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao are restraining each other, making the three parties show a state of internal friction, restraining each other, and unable to develop outward, Liu Bei's entry into Jingzhou is not what Lu Bu is worried about, even if Liu Bei is very capable, Liu Biao has been operating in Jingzhou for many years, plus the deep-rooted rule of the Cai, Zhang, Kuai, and Huang families, it is not easy for Liu Bei to seek to seize Jingzhou.
Lu Bu thought of another problem, without the pressure brought by the north, whether it is Jiangdong or Liu Biao, there is actually a lot of room for development, that is, Shuzhong.
Whether it is Jiangdong or Liu Biao, because of the perennial war with each other, virtually let the naval armies of both sides get vigorous development, either of the two families, have the ability to go upstream, raid Shuzhong, plus Liu Zhang is weak, if they really open the door to Shuzhong with their naval army, in the future, it is Lu Bu to defeat Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but any one of them wins Shuzhong, it will be a huge trouble for the future unification of the world, but Lu Bu can't free up his hands to go south now, although Zhong Xuan in Shuzhong, but the status of the northern overlord is obviously more important, At most, it is only a corner of the country, but the position of the northern overlord is basically enough to establish the position of Lu Bu's overlord in the world.
It seems that he is thinking a little far, but he is prepared for a rainy day, even if Lu Bu does not have the ability to attack Shuzhong at the moment, he can still use other methods to open up the situation in Shuzhong.
I don't know what the result of Yang Fu's envoy to Jingxiang and Jiangdong will be, the attitudes of these two families are also related to the future situation in the world.
"Yan'er." Putting down the letterhead, Lu Bu stretched out his hand and touched Cai Yan's smooth skin.
"Huh?" Cai Yan raised his head and put his face on the chest of Lu Bu's acquaintance, thinking about it also felt funny, although Cai Yan did not reject Lu Bu before, he would not show such an intimate demeanor, but after coming back this time, his attitude has changed a lot, and the reason is that Lu Bu left the song in Yinshan at the beginning, which made Cai Yan mistakenly think that Lu Bu was both civil and military, and his mentality also changed.
"Clean up and come back to your house with me, that's your home." Lu Bu's rough big hands roamed, and in his tone, he didn't leave much room for Cai Yan to refute.
"How can you enter the gate of the prince's mansion?" After a moment of silence, Cai Yan shook her head and chose to refuse, as a talented woman, she has her own arrogance, in this academy, Lu Bu belongs to her alone, but when she enters the Hussar General's Mansion, she has to share it with other women.
"I'm not talking to you, I have to go." In the dissatisfied eyes of the other party, he pinched a handful of elastic soft flesh fiercely, and Lu Bu said domineeringly: "Clean up, Zhou Cang will send you back in a while, my Lu Bu's woman, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?" ”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he didn't give Cai Yan time to continue answering, put on his clothes, and walked out of the academy with the official document: "Come on, let the Fazheng Dao Mansion see me." ”
Fa Zheng has also been in the academy for a period of time, and he has achieved quite a lot, but it is a pity that such a person is thrown here to teach, it just so happens that their father and son took refuge in Shu before, and now that Lu Bu has thought about Shuzhong, let Fa Zheng go to the activity first, and he is also a suitable person, as for Fa Yan...... After all, he is too old to run around, not to mention that the Department of Justice is now inseparable from the presiding over Fa Yan.
……
Ten days passed in a hurry, the population of Jingxiang was more than one million, after figuring out the terrain and breaking it into pieces, if Lu Lingqi and the others had the heart to hide, even if they gave Cai Mao 100,000 troops, it would be impossible to find people out of the vast sea of people.
Perhaps, let them run away again, right?
The more time passed, Cai Mao's thoughts faded, after all, there were so many troops, it was impossible to go to Yang Fu and his group all day long, and it was also a great harm to the people's livelihood, therefore, after nearly ten days of futile efforts, Cai Mao gave up his plan to continue the search and killing, as for the issuance of a wanted warrant, he was willing to Liu Biao and refused, which was tantamount to directly pushing Lu Bu to the opposite side.
It's just that Cai Mao obviously underestimated Lu Lingqi's vindictiveness.
Xiangyang, Cai's Mansion, a general hurriedly rushed in and said to Cai Mao: "Governor, it's not good!" ”
"What's the alarm?" Cai Mao frowned and looked at the general dissatisfied.
"Back to the governor, those Lu Bu envoys have news, they are still in Jiangxia, and they suddenly attacked last night and killed Lu Xiong, the general who stayed in Exian County."
"What?" Cai Mao slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "What a bold man, what about Huang Zu?" What's he doing? ”
"After General Huang Zu heard the news, he had already sent people to encircle and suppress them, but this time they seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of Jiangxia, and they were cavalry, coming and going like the wind, General Huang Zu's men and horses not only failed to encircle and suppress, but also suffered a lot of losses."
"Hmph, it seems that these people have already explored the terrain of Jiangxia in the past ten days!" Cai Mao rubbed his temples with a little headache, and snorted angrily: "Inform Huang Zu, guard the key roads of all checkpoints, and never let them escape, I will lead the army to arrive later." ”
"Whoa!" When the general heard this, he hurriedly agreed and trotted away.
"Hmph, as long as you are in my Jingzhou, you don't want to escape!" Cai Mao snorted coldly, the last time Guan Yu blocked the way, single-handedly, and forcibly blocked Cai Mao in place for an hour before leaving, which made Cai Mao hate in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything with Liu Bei now, this time, it was his brother-in-law, and there was no reason to stop him anymore, right?
